Focus on the curves











Recently, I have started a new line of work focusing on curves and bumps. I have been thinking a lot about how our journeys contain rivets and unexpected curves. Sometimes it feels disastrous, but beauty is there if we look close enough. The glaze I used on this piece is called Speriment. I love this glaze because it accentuates the curves and bumps. Like our lives, it breaks and shimmers the most where the bumps and curves exist.

  1. I love this green hue! If I understand correctly, the glaze accentuates the bumps and curves? Since it is the bumps and curves in our lives (and how we handle them) that really make us into who we are, I love the symbolism here. The handles on both of these mugs are awesome but the circular pattern inside of the mug is FABULOUS!
